#### New to Plotly?
Plotly's Python library is free and open source! [Get started](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/) by downloading the client and [reading the primer](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/).
<br>You can set up Plotly to work in [online](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#initialization-for-online-plotting) or [offline](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#initialization-for-offline-plotting) mode, or in [jupyter notebooks](https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/#start-plotting-online).
<br>We also have a quick-reference [cheatsheet](https://images.plot.ly/plotly-documentation/images/python_cheat_sheet.pdf) (new!) to help you get started!


### Simple Inset Graph

```python
import plotly.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go

trace1 = go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3],
    y=[4, 3, 2]
)
trace2 = go.Scatter(
    x=[20, 30, 40],
    y=[30, 40, 50],
    xaxis='x2',
    yaxis='y2'
)
data = [trace1, trace2]
layout = go.Layout(
    xaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0.6, 0.95],
        anchor='y2'
    ),
    yaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0.6, 0.95],
        anchor='x2'
    )
)
fig = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
py.iplot(fig, filename='simple-inset')

```
